The Boston Herald thinks it is only
question Of a few years, and per-
haps but few months, before the
immigration question will be definite
ly taken up by some political organi-
zation. 1t is but an enlargement of
the Chinese immigra ton question.
1t took some time for that issue to
grow into national magnitude, but it
attained that size after awhile, and
became, so far as political parties
were concerned, irresistible. Al

formed having for its platform the
unconditional repeal of the naturali-

of the knownothing party, But We
should not be in the least surprised
to find among the members of such
an organization as those, or the son,
OF those, against whom generation

preached At that time il was Cd

would not be difficult now to fine

Rev. q. t. Thistle, pastor of the Sec
ond Baptist church of Cheyenne, is about
to begin a canvass of the city for sub
scribers to that exceedingly interesting
book, The Life and characteristics of
Henry Ward Beecher." The book was
written by Lyman Abbott, D. D., and
Rev. 8. B. Holiday, both eminent and
interesting writers. The work is complete
and authentic in every respect, and is
having an extensive sale not only in this
country, but in all parts of Europe as
well. The chief object and aim of the
book is ITO present Mr.. Beecher as he
was, neither p~raising nor blaming beyond
reason" The book is an octave of
nearly 700 pages, and richly illustrated.
Mr.. Thistle is the colored preacher
whose eyesight is so badly impaired that
he can scarcely see to go from one point
to another in the city. He is a gentle
man in every respect, and it is hoped that
he will be encouraged by our people, and
that every one who can will buy a book.

A Lively Battle.

AT about 3 o'clock yesterday morning a
lively battle occurred between the police
and a band of tramps and ''vags" south
OF the railroad track and near where two
or three Isolated box cars we're standing
on one of the sidetracks. Of the police
there were only Bob" Ingalls, and p. J..
Nolan, but these two make a pretty eff
cient little army in themselves-and
there were nine of the tramps and vags,
also an old COW, which these estimable
gentlemen had pressed into service, and
which constituted their supply of commits
sary and quaItcrmaster supplies. The
tramps when assaulted fought with some
persistency, and what few Jack and bowie
knives there were in the crew we're drawn,
but they got but little chance TO use them.
Bob" laid out three of them on the
ground, and Nolan as many more, after
which the balance surrendered. The COW
was not an active combatant in the fight,
but a%vailing herself of the opportunity,
and as if ashamed of the company in
which she had been caught, the discreet
bovine made tracks for Crow creek bridge,
and did not stop until she was safely on
the other side. The gang of tramps
found a lodging in the calaboose, and
yesterday forenoon they. were ~iudicially
dealt with by Judge Lee. The valiant
nine will work for the benefit of the city
for a few days.
